Fire at Telford.

About 2 o'clock a. m. Saturday last, the
building owned by Jacob Barkley, at Tel
ford was discovered to be on fire. The
upper floor and the rear part Of the first
story were occupied by the family Of W.
X. Patton as a dwelling. The front room
on the first floor was used as u post-of-
fee. The fire originated near the gable
end towards the railroad, and 1t is sup
posed that the fire was started by q spark
from q passing locomotive. The building
burned very rapidly and the Pattons lost
nearly all of their provisions, and house
hold goods. The contents of the post-of'
fee were saved entire. There was no In
surance on the property destroyed. The
loss on the building has been estimated as
about 5000.

Fresh Air Fund of the City Missions Where Contributions May be Sent.

Fresh Air Fund of the City Missions
 Where Contributions May be Sent.
 The City Mission makes use each summer of such funds as are sent to it for increasing the comfort and happiness of any who are already on it's ''fresh air list, and any others who ought to be. The children of the Da- venport church sent generous remembrance for the use of other children in this way by their offerings on ''childrsn's day" Just be fore starting for Europe last month one of our thoughtful citizens left liberal donation for the fresh air fund, and within day or two past I have received from New Haven lady now in Switzerland check for this same purpose, which she felt might be needed before her return.
 The children connected with the City Mis- sion, now about 200 in all, will have an all day outing at the west shore on Wednesday next, and soon afterward the members of the mothers meeting will be given a day at Lighthouse grove. We hope to be able also. as last year, to extend the benefits of this fund to the Home for the Friendless, the Dsv Nursery and the Children's Home, as well as to some of the aged people at the almshouse, the crippled convalescents at the hospital. and to any others whether in our public homes or in their own, who are brought to our notice as in need of this very acceptable way of offering them the sympathy of the friendly givers to this fund.-
 Gifts of any amount will be acceptable, and may be sent either to myself or to Mrs. S. NJ. Finken, our lady missionary, 46 Chestnut street, or may be left at any time at the Gen. tral Mission rooms, 1S8 and 192 Meadow street, where there is always some one in at tendance every day and every evening.

OBITUARY Y.

Death of F. J. Calhoun, Formerly Superintendent of the Shore Line Railroad.
 Many friends will learn with regret of the death of Frederick J. Calhoun, who years ago was superintendent of the Shore Line railroad some years before it passed into the hands of the Consolidated road. His office was in the old Brewster building, now Simp- son block, over what was then Benjamin & Todd's jewelry store. The conductors of the road had their headquarters in the same building. At that time the depot was where the City market is now. MT. Calhoun was born in Cornwall, Conn.,, in 1920. Very early in life he became connected with the railroad service of New England, then in it's infancy. His first important official service commenced on the Shore Line, starting as freight agent, then mail agent, then for a period of seven years superintendent. He was also superintendent of the Providence & Worcester railroad and superintendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and his last active service purchasing agent of the Atlanta and Richmond railroad.
 He died at his residence in Boston High lands Thursday morning after protracted illness, aged sixty He was gentle- man of decided convictions, force of charac- ter, executive ability, warm hearted and staunch friend. He was prominent and active member of the Masonic order while resident here.

In this he says: "I need not remind you that it is of the highest importance that this celebration should not alone illustrate our moral, intellectual and material progress within the past hundred years, but that it should be made so imposing as to leave an indelible impression on the minds of our people, particularly upon the youth of the land, as to the paramount importance of up- holding and guarding the constitution as the sheet anchor of our liberties and the bulwark of our prosperity and happiness of our peo- pie.

A Valuable Invention,

William V. Lockwood, with the District Telegraph company in Waterbury, has hit iron an invention that ought to bring him good return, if it's usefulness is a criterion. By the old system when one rung for mes- senger boy he might wait patiently half an hour and then find that the call had not reached the office and valuable time be lost Mr. Lockwood makes an instrument which is attached just below the regular call box. By pushing the button on the top of it one learns whether he can get boy; if every thing is all right buzz is heard; two buzzes mean that there are no boys in, but you will get the first one; no buzz means that the office hasn't received the call, the wire is out of order. It operates on the induction plan, entirely separate from the main wire. The subscriber who has the call box (which is put in free) can obtain one of these as his own property for $2. Mir. Lockwood put in the first one Thursday and the demand for them is great.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Peter BoesR of N1cOll Street Takes
 StrYchnfne and Dies.

 Strychnfne and Dies. For long time past Peter Boess, aged AS, barber who resides at 79 Nieou street, has been sufferer from consumption and early yesterday morning he committed suicide by taking dose of strychnine. MT. Boess has for the past sixteen years kept barber shop on Nicon street where he has lived lately with his aunt, Mrs. Valentine Boess. Months ago he purchased 8 bottle of strychnine at Bishops drug store, saying he wished to poi son cats with it, and since that time had probably contemplated suicide.
 Mrs. Boess said: ''Peter sat with me in the kitchen during the evening. He seemed very Respondent and said that he did not know whether he would be able to work on Satur- day or not. He has been troubled with dys- entery for few weeks and that has made him feel very bad. I went to bed before Il o'clock and was not long there before I heard him calling to me. I went to him and he told me he was dying and I told him that was all nonsense. Then he said that he had taken something and that he wanted me to forgive him. He died before we could do anything for him."
 An autopsy was held yesterday and Medi- cal Examiner White stated in his report that it was a clear case of suicide. The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock to-day.
